// Package propagation implements the binary trace context format.
package propagation

// TODO: link to external spec document.

// BinaryFormat format:
//
// Binary value: <version_id><version_format>
// version_id: 1 byte representing the version id.
//
// For version_id = 0:
//
// version_format: <field><field>
// field_format: <field_id><field_format>
//
// Fields:
//
// TraceId: (field_id = 0, len = 16, default = "0000000000000000") - 16-byte array representing the trace_id.
// SpanId: (field_id = 1, len = 8, default = "00000000") - 8-byte array representing the span_id.
// TraceOptions: (field_id = 2, len = 1, default = "0") - 1-byte array representing the trace_options.
//
// Fields MUST be encoded using the field id order (smaller to higher).
//
// Valid value example:
//
// {0, 0, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 1, 97,
// 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 2, 1}
//
// version_id = 0;
// trace_id = {64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79}
// span_id = {97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104};
// trace_options = {1};
